SPRINGFIELD – Two city schools went into lockdown mode as a precaution Monday morning after a 36-year-old suspect, wanted on a warrant for assault with intent to murder and other charges, fled police on Cambridge Street.

Sgt. John M. Delaney said the lockdowns at the Rebecca Johnson School on Catharine Street and the Ells School on Cortland Street have since been lifted.

The suspect, Gerald Williams, of 86 Bowles St., remains at large. “They don’t think he was armed or anything,” Delaney, aide to Commissioner William J. Fitchet said, adding that police spotted Williams at about 7:45 a.m.

The department’s Fugitive Apprehension Unit was seeking Williams for a domestic related incident that occurred near his home on Friday, shortly before 10:45 p.m.

Other charges against Williams, pertaining to that incident, are assault and battery and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
